A stunning turn of events occurred in the second quarter of Super Bowl LVII as Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Nick Bolton returned Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts' fumble for a 36-yard touchdown.

CHIEFS TIE IT BACK UP WITH A SCOOP AND SCORE<br><br>📺: <a href="">#SBLVII</a> on FOX<br>📱: Stream on NFL+ <a href=""> <a href="">

Holding a 14-7 lead, the Eagles faced a 3rd-and-1 from the Chiefs' 47, but a false start knocked them back five yards. Hurts tried a quarterback keeper for the first down, but Bolton met him in the backfield. The signal-caller then dropped the ball, which Bolton returned for a scoop and score en route to a 14-all tie.

Looked like Hurts was trying to switch the ball into his outside arm there, and Nick Bolton got on him too fast, and he lost it. Big missed opportunity for Philly.

Naturally, the sudden change dramatically increased the Chiefs' chances of winning.

This Super Bowl script has been wild

Pat Forde @ByPatForde

The false start that turned around a Super Bowl? Maybe. Holy crap, bad play by Hurts.

Wow!! What a sudden turn of events. Scoop and score for the Chiefs

Ryan Clark @Realrclark25

That's a mistake that Jalen can not make. The false start and now the fumble. Scoop and score KC. Huge flip of momentum.

Benjamin Solak @BenjaminSolak

That's an insane turn. Isaac Seuamlo false start on third and automatic becomes a Jalen Hurts fumble and Chiefs touchdown when the defenses sniff out QB draw.<br><br>We are tied up at 14. My stomach, incidentally, is also tied in knots.

Elle Duncan @elleduncanESPN

oh nooo he just dropped it..

Hurts bounced back quickly, however, leading the Eagles on a 12-play, 75-yard drive capped by his own four-yard touchdown rush and the point after for a 21-14 advantage.
